国际发展界开始认识到,残疾人是所有群体中最贫穷和最脆弱的群体之一,因此必须成为发展政策和方案的核心问题。然而,残疾与贫困之间的关系仍然不明确且研究不足,很少有研究提供可靠且可验证的数据来检验这种关系的复杂性。第二个相关问题是,需要(目前缺乏)标准来评估特定残疾和残疾“主流”或“包容”计划是否以及如何在消除残疾人的排斥、边缘化和贫困方面发挥作用。本文回顾了有关残疾与贫困关系的现有知识和理论。它利用既定的理论结构和基于现场的数据,试图确定存在哪些知识差距并需要通过未来的研究来解决。
The international development community is beginning to recognise that people with disabilities constitute among the poorest and most vulnerable of all groups, and thus must be a core issue in development policies and programmes. Yet the relationship between disability and poverty remains ill-defined and under-researched, with few studies providing robust and verifiable data that examine the intricacies of this relationship. A second, linked issue is the need for-and current lack of-criteria to assess whether and how disability-specific and disability 'mainstreamed' or 'inclusive' programmes work in combating the exclusion, marginalisation and poverty of people with disabilities. This article reviews existing knowledge and theory regarding the disability-poverty nexus. Using both established theoretical constructs and field-based data, it attempts to identify what knowledge gaps exist and need to be addressed with future research.
